NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The Boeing Co. says it will give $1.5 million to support science, technology, engineering and math programs at the National World War II Museum in New Orleans.

Among other things, the money will expand the museum's annual robotics challenge from a one-state event to a regional tournament, so students from Mississippi, Alabama and Texas can also compete, the museum said in a news release last week. Finals will be at the museum. The first four competitions were all at the museum. Teams from Mississippi and Alabama occasionally competed, but nearly all were from Louisiana, museum spokesman Keith Darcey said.
